We started off with drinks at the bar, and I absolutely loved the Fig n Honey martini! Bartender was very nice too. We ordered coconut shrimp for an appetizer and although it was ok it didn’t have that much coconut on it, tasted for like plain fried shrimp. Dinner was good but nothing amazing about it. The decor of the restaurant was really beautiful.

This restaurant is attractive. The food is good, sometimes very good. The service is good. Its a great choice if your primary focus is on your other guests. The problem is the place has a weird vibe - its like a ‘model home’ in a housing development…no personality, no warmth. But we’ve been many times and will return.

My family took my father in law here to celebrate his 77th birthday. The service was excellent and everyone enjoyed their food. We had dined here before but this time the food and service seemed extra special. The owner came to our table several times to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. The servers were also very attentive without interrupting our meal. I will definitely be returning here to celebrate future family occasions.

Went on Mother’s Day. Underwhelmed by service, food temp and drinks. None of them were particularly good. It had potential but missed the mark for me and I doubt I’ll return.
